^ I hear you though I actually consider Chuck and Bobby to be very similar, they are just playing on different teams. They both will bend/break the rules, both are manipulative and egotistical, etc. Both can play calm but eventually explode when things don't go their way.

I have no idea regarding Chuck's wife. It is an awesome dynamic between Wendy and Chuck and Wendy and Bobby. I have a feeling that she is going to somehow bring about the downfall of Bobby and Chuck both and through no major fault of her own. She is the only one that can make them crack aside from themselves of course.

Finished the three seasons of Deadwood. Can't believe it took me so long to get around to watching it... only 9 years late. Quality, although the final end to Season 3 was a pretty limp. I think most of the cast were expecting Season 4 for an Emmy winning series... and then it got dropped. Apparently they are writing two movies to round it off all these years later.

Next up... Billions. Already started and watched the first three episodes of Season 1. Liking this show a lot.

Deadwood was very good but just a little over the top at times.

Excellent choice with Billions. It is a great show. Just 2 episodes left in season 2. I definitely liked season 1 quite a bit more but it's still been very good this year.

And I forget, do you watch Ray Donovan? If not that's a good one to start. Probably my favorite show on Showtime at this point.

The third season of Deadwood was the worst of the lot, but still OK. All the stuff with that silly acting group didn't need to be in there - it was an irrelevant sideshow to the mains stories... and the end was lame. Overall though, good viewing - Seasons 1 and 2 particularly.

Billions, yes - Season 1 is pretty good, I'll race through this pretty quickly.

The third season of Fargo just started recently, haven't seen it yet but it's definitely on the list.

I watched a couple episodes of Hulu's new show The Handmaid's Tale last night. A little slow but pretty good, it's based off a popular 1985 novel

There is a new TV series titled "Genius". Gives a brief unstructured biography of Einstein. Produced by National Geographic Channel. If you don't expect to learn science from the series and if you don't know much about the life of Einstein, it is probably a good series. So far only one episode has been shown. It comes on Tuesday evenings. It has 10 episodes in total.

Maybe the best episode of the entire series so far. Just incredible.

And I hadn't realized before last week that we were down to the final 2 episodes. Before last night I'd say season 1 was a lot better than season 2. But after last night and the potential of another amazing finale it is a lot closer. I'd still say season 1 but last night just elevated this considerably.

Is Chuck's revenge against Axe that serious to loose out on those millions of dollars for his father, friend and himself..I got to believe Axe has an ace in the hole..wendy sex rump may comeback to haunt her..

^ Oh yes it is and that's part of what was so glorious about it. To cover his bases he had to lose that money. Homer wrote the Iliad almost 3,000 years ago and we just saw one of the greatest imitations of a Trojan Horse since the original.

Chuckles isn't like his father, pride comes way before money. And winning this battle vs. Axe is worth more than those millions. What will be interesting is to see if they both go down for this, as Axe sabotaged the company but Chuck was aware he was going to do it and just let it happen. That's quite illegal as well. And how will sweet Wendy and her shorting the stock play into it? Oh boy!!

Yes, it is reasonably good. Focuses, mostly on Einstein's sex life and has lot of cheesy lines like "When you are with a beautiful woman, time flies; that is relativity". You can find it online to watch it for free. I too don't have the channel.

It's only "relativity" if she's your cousin... :snicker
